The main web page (https://www.freebsd.org/) is terrible on a wide monitor.
Most monitors, really. The CSS throws away a lot of space and uses tiny
crimped fonts. Except for <tt> fonts, which are ridiculously overstated.
Quite some time back, this irritated me enough to stomp through the CSS,
willfully modifying anything that looked funny. The result is not perfect, but
still a huge improvement.
There have been proposals to replace the main page entirely, but that now looks
like it will take a while.
So I created this review of my modifications:

Previews of how the main page looks on 1920x1200 and 1024x768 monitors are
here:

It would be nice to space the four elements across the top more evenly, The
horizontal scrollbar wrongly implies that there is something to the right.
Fixes welcome.
I propose to commit this in the next three days unless there are
complaints or submitted improvements.
Thanks!
